Golden Chariot chugs with slim crowd after six years
BENGALURU: After a gap of six years, the states own luxury express train Golden Chariot chugged off from the Yeshwanthpur Railway Stations Platform-6 to Kochi on Saturday. The trip Jewel of the South was flagged off by Karnataka Tourism Minister HK Patil with 38 international tourists on board, while the train has 80-bed capacity. It is operated by the Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation (KSTDC) along with the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) and Indian Railways. IRCTC, which is marketing the train, has priced the ticket at Rs 67,961.79 ($800). The five-night-six-day circuit will cover Bengaluru, Mysuru, Kanchipuram, Mahabalipuram, Thanjavur, Chettinad/ Karaikudi, Kochi and Chertala/ Mararikuluam in Kerala and back to Bengaluru. Patil told the media that Golden Chariot is a special train for South India as it showcases the culture, tourism, history, nature, wildlife and heritage of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The trains operations had been stopped from 2018 due to financial reasons. Now it has been started in cooperation with agencies from the central government. We have entered into a partnership with the Railways and hope to make profits, he said. An IRCTC official said three special customised trips were made in 2020 and 2021, but the occupancy was very poor. As a new feature, we have introduced a provision for people/ companies to book the entire train and it can be taken on the routes (chosen from the itineraries already prepared by KSTDC and IRCTC). This chartered train service option has been availed by two private companies who have made bookings to take the train for trips on December 29 and February 13, 2025. KSTDC officials, who were present on the occasion, said that for February 2025, bookings have been made to run the train on the Pride of Karnataka circuit, which is a five-night-six-day trip, covering Bengaluru, Nanjangud, Mysuru, Halebidu, Chikkamagaluru, Hospet and Goa. KSTDC sources said the operations had stopped not just because of poor bookings and the corporation was unable to break even, but also because of high haulage charges. Now even after signing agreements with IRCTC and Indian Railways, the haulage charge issues have not been ironed out. We are hoping the train does not stop again or ticket prices are not increased because of this, the source said.
Karnataka Min Satish wonders why police moved CT Ravi place to place
BENGALURU/BELAGAVI : Public Works Department Minister Satish Jarkiholi on Saturday said he was not aware on whose instructions BJP MLC CT Ravi was shifted from one station to another on Thursday night. Ravi was arrested for allegedly making obscene remarks against Women and Child Development Minister Laxmi Hebbalkar. He was arrested on Thursday evening and was produced before the court on Friday morning. Speaking to media persons in Belagavi, Jarkiholi, who is also Belagavi District in-charge Minister, said he had told the police to produce Ravi before the court on Thursday night and the issue would not have been hyped if the police had listened to his instructions. Jarkiholi said there is no use in continuing the issue now as Ravi has already made it clear that he had not used any derogatory words. Many such incidents had taken place in Parliament and Vidhana Soudha and they were put to an end after those concerned tendered apologies, the minister said. Meanwhile, speaking to media persons in Bengaluru, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar said the BJP is blaming the police to cover up its mistakes. Ravi hasnt spoken badly just about Laxmi Hebbalkar. He has foul-mouthed Siddaramaiah too. He has used derogatory words in the House. Let the BJP leaders introspect their conduct, he said. Shivakumar said he would have condemned Congress leaders if they had made such a comment, but Leader of Opposition R Ashoka is defending the leaders in his party. I have settled a lot of such accounts. Everybody will settle the account according to their strengths, Shivakumar said responding to a question on Ravis statement that he would settle the account.
CM Siddaramaiah has left the wheel, DKS running show with vendetta politics: LoP Ashoka
BENGALURU: Leader of Opposition in the Assembly R Ashoka on Saturday accused Deputy CM D K Shivakumar of resorting to vendetta politics against Opposition parties. But Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is not bothered as he will be stepping down from his post, he said. Referring to the alleged attack on senior BJP leader C T Ravi and high-handedness by the police, Ashoka indirectly said this has happened at the behest of Shivakumar who wants to become the CM. As he (Siddaramaiah) was not the one who used to be, the ministers went out of his control. Shivakumar, in order to impress the Congress high command, has been snubbing the voice of the Opposition. In the Maharishi Valmiki ST Development Corporation scam, B Nagendra resigned, and the next will be Siddaramaiah, he said at a joint press conference in the Vidhana Soudha. The Ravi episode is akin to the rakta charita movie -- an Andhra Pradesh model of governance. Congress worked to snub and confront the Opposition. The CM is not bothered about anything as whatever the ministers have done is the law. He is not the Siddaramaiah of the past now. It is all a game played by Shivakumar with the aim that if the BJP is snubbed, he will get the blessings of Sonia and Rahul Gandhi and he may become the CM soon. Which was why he was doing all this, he alleged. He took strong exception to the police taking Ravi, who received threats from naxals, to sugarcane fields and stone quarries, on the pretext of his (Ravis) safety. Some people hide in forests and quarries for safety because there are animals there, and no one comes there. The commissioner said it was for his safety. Was it safe? Will the animals around take care of one. The police found a new way of safety. There is a place called Parappana Agrahara in Bengaluru that is safe, he said. He suggested that the CM and ministers should be taken to the sugarcane fields and quarries and leave them for their safety. Replying to Shivakumar that he would have taken action if his party leader had done something like Ravi, allegedly badmouthing minister Laxmi Hebbalkar, Ashoka hit back saying that there were umpteen cases, including rape charges, against Congress leaders. An MLA has been accused of bribery, policeman Parashuram committed suicide after being asked for money and many cases have been registered. Why was no action taken? he asked. LoP in the council Chalavadi Narayanaswamy also said Shivakumar has become the power centre in the government. He rued that the issue of multi-crore scam in the tenders called in the Raichur thermal power plant could not be discussed in length.
At 3.16 per cent in five years, Kerala's economic growth 4th lowest in country
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Despite topping the national charts on various human-development indices, Keralas economy has been limping for some time now. A recent central bank report further cemented the condition that the state finds itself in. In the Reserve Bank of Indias Handbook of Statistics on Indian States 2023-24, Kerala took the 30th spot among select 33 states and Union territories (UTs) in terms of economic growth over a five-year period. Keralas average annual growth rate (AAGR) in gross state domestic product (GSDP, at constant prices) between 2018-19 and 2022-23 stood at 3.16%, with only Delhi (3.13%), Uttarakhand (2.16%) and Goa (0.70%) performing worse. Mizoram topped the chart with 6.75% growth, followed by Chhattisgarh (6.64%) and Gujarat (6.26%). Major south Indian states also registered commendable growth during the period. While Karnatakas economy grew by 5.62%, Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh posted 5.61%, 5.27% and 5.19% expansions, respectively. The quick estimate for 2023-24 showed that Keralas GSDP improved to rs 6.35 lakh crore, posting a 6.52% year-on-year (YoY) growth, from the previous years Rs 5.96 lakh crore (+4.24% YoY). The handbook did not have data for all states/UTs for this year. Telanganas growth rate was pegged at 9.24%, followed by Tamil Nadu (8.23%), Andhra Pradesh (7.35%), and Karnataka (6.60%). There are various factors behind Keralas slow growth rate, economist Mary George said. The state is yet to be industry-friendly in the true sense and hence big investments are limited. Kerala continues to grapple with militant trade unionism, she said. The agriculture sector is facing a crisis due to price falls and human-wildlife conflicts. The drop in NRI remittances following the pandemic and outward remittances through migrant labourers have compounded the states woes, Mary added. Exponential increase in states expenditure on disaster relief The handbook showed that Kerala performed well in important social indicators like maternal mortality (MMR) and life expectancy. Kerala topped the chart in MMR with 19 deaths per one lakh births. At six deaths per 1,000, Keralas infant mortality rate was the fifth lowest in the country. The unemployment rate in rural Kerala was 76, fourth highest in the country. Unemployment in the urban areas saw a significant decline from 104 in 2019-20 to 67 in 2023-24, 19th position in the country. The report also threw light on the exponential increase in state governments expenditure on relief following natural calamities. Keralas expenditure rose by 232% from Rs 14,181 lakh in 2011-12 to Rs 47,060 lakh in 2023-24. At 3,13,376 lakh, the highest spending was in the flood-hit 2018-19. In the states finance sector, Keralas own tax revenue saw a quantum jump in 2022-23, from Rs 58,341 crore in the previous year to Rs 70,189 crore. The budget estimate for 2023-24 is Rs 81,039. The states own non-tax revenue too rose from Rs 10,463 crore in 2021-22 to Rs 15,355 crore in 2022-23. The estimate for 2023-24 is Rs 17,089 crore. Kerala had the fifth-highest pension expenditure in the country in 2023-24. The pension liability rose from Rs 26,689 crore in 2022-23 to Rs 28,240 crore in the current year.

Congress plans to take up Constitution, Ambedkar as key issues at Belagavi plenary
BENGALURU: The 85th plenary session of the AICC, marking the centenary of Mahatma Gandhi presiding over the 39th session in 1924 in Belagavi scheduled to be held on December 26 ahead of a public rally on December 27, is likely to pass resolutions revolving around the Indian Constitution and its architect Dr BR Ambedkar. With Union Home Minister Amit Shahs statement in the Rajya Sabha that it has become a fashion for Congress leaders to chant Ambedkars name that has triggered widespread protests across the country, Congress has been thinking of adopting a resolution criticising his statement. The resolution will contain the names of Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who supported his minister on the issue, party sources said. The Grand Old Partys plan is to draw the attention of the country and woo Ambedkarites, especially Dalits, backward classes and minorities, and send out a message that Congress was never averse to Ambedkar as alleged by BJP. The session is being seen as an ideal opportunity as it would be presided over by party president Mallikarjun Kharge, a Dalit, on his home turf Karnataka. A resolution appreciating Kharge for his selfless service to the party is likely to be adopted, sources said. Congress has been campaigning that the Constitution faces a threat under the Modi government and the party is likely to stress on that point during the public rally on December 27. A Congress MLC told TNIE , It is noticed that BJP suffered a setback in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, could not come back to power on its own and formed an alliance government as some of its leaders spoke of changing the Constitution if the saffron party secured over 400 LS seats. Now, SC/ST leaders, who benefited from political reservation within BJP, have come under attack for not raising their voice against Shahs remarks on Ambedkar. A resolution on Gandhis efforts to eradicate untouchability, which was a resolution passed in 1924 as well, would be passed during this session to make it a historic meeting, sources said.
Kannada Sahitya Sammelana becomes a battleground against imposition of Hindi
MYSURU: The three-day 87th Kannada Sahitya Sammelana , a grand celebration of Kannada language and culture that is being held in Mandya, witnessed an unexpected surge of activism against imposition of Hindi in Karnataka. Across the sprawling venue, young activists interrupted discussions, engaged attendees, drew their attention and took efforts to sensitise participants about what they called alleged systematic sidelining of Kannada in favour of Hindi. These impromptu interventions, marked by fervent appeals and detailed pamphlets, significantly impacted the Sammelanas proceedings. While debates and literary sessions were ongoing, groups of activists led by Radhakrishna, Abhi Gowda, Saraswathi and many others traversed the venue with slogans, urging Kannadigas to oppose the imposition of Hindi. CM Siddaramaiah hits out at Centre for imposing Hindi, discrimination in tax devolution Passionate activists engaged attendees in conversations about the neglect of Kannada in public institutions like banks, post offices and insurance offices. Kannada is being deliberately sidelined and we must act now to stop this erosion of our linguistic identity, said activist Radhakrishna. Many activists highlighted the adverse impact of the three-language formula in schools, where Hindi is compulsory. As many as 90,510 students failed in their SSLC Hindi examination in 2023-24, setting them back in their academic career, said another attendee. It is not about opposing Hindi as a language. It is about opposing its forced imposition, said another youngster. Were against forced Hindi imposition It is not about opposing Hindi as a language. It is about opposing its forced imposition, said another youngster who distributed pamphlets to those visiting book stalls and called for adopting a bilingual policy of Kannada and English, with other languages being optional. Kannada must remain the dominant language of Karnataka, not just culturally but administratively and economically. We demand that Kannada be made mandatory for all services and employment opportunities in the state. The fight is against the central policies that threaten our identity, said Ramakrishna. A group of activists who stopped a session chaired by MLA Darshan Puttannaiah urged that there was a need to pass resolutions on these issues and demanded resolutions aimed at protecting the states linguistic and cultural identity.
A new 'low' in Karnataka Police should not become a tool for politics
The state legislature session in Belagavi that concluded on Thursday will go down as the most shameful if BJP lawmaker CT Ravi had indeed made the alleged obscene remark on Women and Child Development Minister Laxmi Hebbalkar. It would be a black mark on the state legislature. There is no justification for such conduct. However, Ravi has denied the allegations and the investigation is under way. The law must take its course. The events that followed soon after the Legislative Council proceedings adjourned sine die raise several pertinent questions, especially about the police action. First, the visuals of the ministers supporters, including her assistant, chasing and charging at the lawmaker in the corridors of the Suvarna Vidhana Soudha showed a total breakdown of the system. Marshals had a tough time controlling them and protecting the MLC. Understandably, tempers run high in such situations. But letting people take the law into their own hands inside the Vidhana Soudha premises reflects poorly on the whole system. Subsequently, based on a complaint by the ministers assistant, Belagavi police registered an FIR under sections 75 and 79 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and arrested Ravi in the evening. Until the next morning when he was produced before court, he was not kept at any police station or a safe place but was driven around in the district in a police vehicle. Soon after he was released on the High Courts directions, Ravi made a serious allegation against the police that he was driven around for 8 to 10 hours across four districts and stopped at isolated places. He also claimed that though he was bleeding due to injury on his forehead, the police took several hours to get him treated. In the first place, why was the MLC driven in a police vehicle all night? What was the need for the police to take him to any place in the middle of the night when the alleged offence was committed in the Council? Was it done with the knowledge of the top police officers in Bengaluru? Were Home Minister G Parameshwara, DyCM DK Shivakumar and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah kept in the loop? It is unlikely that the local police would have acted on their own as the person involved was a former minister and MLC. The local police officers might justify their action claiming it was done to ensure Ravis safety as Hebbalkars followers were gathering near the police stations where they took him. If that is the polices claim, it is even worse. Cant the police ensure the safety of a person inside the police station instead of driving him around all night? Former State DG & IGP ST Ramesh says in the absence of firsthand information about the developments in the case, it is difficult to arrive at any conclusion, but the police action gives scope for speculation; whether their actions are genuine or just an excuse for ill-treating him. In the DK Basu case, the Supreme Court laid down detailed guidelines to be followed during any arrest in a cognizable case. Subsequently, the Apex Court added more guidelines, including providing a written memo to the person being arrested. Unfortunately, the guidelines are not followed and enforced in many cases. The former state police chief says CT Ravis case need not be treated differently and the police should have followed due procedures. However, in situations like mob violence, it may be difficult to follow those instructions, and immediate arrest could help defuse the situation. The SC guidelines have to be followed and human rights must be protected, but at the same time, the guidelines should be made practical. Former Chairman of the State Legislative Council VR Sudharshan is of the view that the whole development is not in good taste or convention and the elected representatives must conduct themselves more responsibly. According to him, the council chairman should have immediately called an all-party leaders meeting and summoned the Business Advisory Committee (BAC) to resolve the issue. The CM, DyCM, Opposition leaders and floor leaders are among the members of the BAC. At the time, when Ravi and Hebbalkar were engaged in heated exchanges and the obscene remarks were allegedly made, the Council proceedings had been adjourned due to chaos over Congress members demand for a discussion over Amit Shahs remarks on BR Ambedkar. On the whole, the developments within and outside the legislature reflect poorly on the state of affairs in Karnataka. While the investigation will throw more light on the elected representatives behaviour in the Council, the police should not become an instrument for political fights. That could set a dangerous trend, especially given the growing animosity between the parties and their leaders.
Kannada Sahitya Sammelana displays ancient scripts, celebrates heritage
MYSURU: A school going boy with curiosity leaned closer to a monitor, trying to decipher an ancient Kannada script displayed on the screen. Beside him, his friends lined up eagerly pointed out the characters, guiding him through the process. This scene, a mix of wonder and camaraderie, was one of many at the Akshara Bhandara platform that captivated visitors during the 87th Kannada Sahitya Sammelana in Mandya on Saturday. The Sammelana witnessed a vibrant spectacle on the second day as curious individuals from all walks of life thronged the Akshara Bhandara stall in the exhibition area. The interactive exhibits captivated attendees with its display of ancient Kannada scripts on large monitors, sparking a sense of pride and wonder in Karnatakas linguistic heritage. The Akshara Bhandara platform, aptly named Treasure of Letters, transformed the academic study of ancient Kannada scripts into an engaging experience. Developed as the first-of-its-kind software, the platform bridges the gap between history and modernity, offering users access to over 30,000 ancient Kannada characters, revealed a stall manager. We are sensitising people about our initiative which acts as a platform providing a treasure trove of historical metadata, shedding light on Karnatakas dynasties, regions, and rulers as well, he said. The platform became a focal point of attention, drawing an unending stream of visitors eager to explore its features. Children, many of whom were experiencing the ancient script for the first time, gazed in awe at the intricate characters displayed on the monitors. Meanwhile, elders shared stories of Karnatakas cultural past, weaving a poignant connection between the past and present. The interactive gateway also proved to be an invaluable tool for scholars and educators attending the event. Researchers praised its extensive database for providing a comprehensive insight into Karnatakas epigraphic legacy. Meanwhile, the Book Mela organised as part of the Sammelana added to the literary charm of the event. Over 150 publication houses and publishers set up stalls, offering Kannada books spanning genres such as novels, short stories, poetry, and essays at discounted prices. The stalls also featured shirts, keychains, and other merchandise adorned with Kannada words, fonts, and letters, which attracted both young and old visitors alike.

Bellary: In an effort to mitigate the adverse environmental impacts in mining-affected areas, Forest, Biology, and Environment Minister Eshwar B Khandre has directed officials to draft a plan to establish a botanical garden in each taluk. During a progress review meeting at the Ballari Forest Department office, the minister instructed officials to utilize funds from the Karnataka Mining Environment Restoration Corporation (KMERC) to devise actionable strategies to address ecological damage. Minister Khandre emphasized the importance of implementing wildlife conservation measures in mining areas and maintaining watering holes to prevent water scarcity for wildlife during summer. He questioned officials about the number of Category C mines in the Ballari region, the extent of degraded forest land allocated to mining companies for compensatory afforestation, and the progress made in afforestation efforts. He also sought details about the geotagging of valuable trees such as sandalwood, teak, and rosewood planted along forest boundaries and reprimanded officials for failing to provide satisfactory answers. The minister further directed officials to plant and nurture more saplings in the Davangere, Koppal, Ballari, Vijayanagara, and Chitradurga divisions. He stressed the need to grow saplings in nurseries to meet farmers' demands effectively. Minister Khandre also highlighted concerns about reports of forest encroachment due to mining activities exceeding allocated areas.

Congress to hold weeklong campaign seeking Amit Shah's resignation for 'insulting' Ambedkar
NEW DELHI: The Congress will hold protest marches against Union Home Minister Amit Shah for insulting BR Ambedkar and observe a weeklong campaign on the issue, party leaders said on Saturday. As part of the Ambedkar Samman Saptah, Congress workers and leaders will hold marches and press conferences to remember the legacy of B R Ambedkar, they said. The Congress and the BJP are at loggerheads over Shah's remarks on Ambedkar during a debate in Parliament. AICC general secretary K C Venugopal said party MPs and leaders will hold press conferences at 150 locations across the country on December 22 and 23 and workers will take out protest marches across the country on December 24. The Congress has also decided to hold a CWC meeting on December 26 in Belagavi, Karnataka to mark 100 years of the 1924 Indian National Congress session, presided over by Mahatma Gandhi. The party will then hold a rally in Belagavi on December 27. Our agitation demanding Home Minister Amit Shah's resignation will continue! We will fight to protect Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkar's legacy against the Manusmriti worshippers, Venugopal said in a post on X. The INC will mark the upcoming week as Dr Ambedkar Samman Saptah, he said. On 24 December, all across the country, we will hold Babasaheb Ambedkar Samman Marches and submit a memorandum to the president of India through District Collectors demanding Amit Shah's resignation. All INC workers will garland Babsaheb's statue, hold his giant portrait at the front of the march and carry huge placards with our key demands, the Congress leader said. On 26-27 December, we will hold an extended CWC session and a mega rally in Belagavi where we will reiterate our commitment to Dr.Ambedkar and his ideals. Jai Bhim! Jai Hind! Venugopal said in his post. Our agitation demanding Home Minister Amit Shahs resignation will continue! We will fight to protect Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkars legacy against the Manusmriti worshippers! INC will mark the upcoming week as Dr. Ambedkar Samman Saptah. All INC MPs, Senior Leaders & CWC Members K C Venugopal (@kcvenugopalmp) December 21, 2024 Later addressing a press conference, All India Congress Media and Publicity department head Pawan Khera said, The attack (against Ambedkar) came from none other than the home minister of India, the second most powerful man in this country, Mr.Amit Shah. He is unrepentant.The prime minister is unrepentant. We have demanded his resignation and this demand will be reiterated in these 150 press conferences across the country, Khera said. Criticising their continued defence of Shah's comments, Khera said it is a latant insult to Dr.Ambedkar's legacy. On December 24, he said, in every district headquarter, there will be a Babasaheb Ambedkar Samman march that will be carried out by Congress leaders and workers. Again, we will reiterate our demand, we will give a memorandum through the collector to the President of India and we will be garlanding the statues of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Ji in every district headquarter, he said. He noted that to mark 100 years of Mahatma Gandhi's presidency at the Belagavi Congress Session in 1924, the party will hold an extended CWC meeting on December 26, followed by a large rally on December 27 in Belagavi. Khera emphasised that Mahatma Gandhi ji's leadership transformed the freedom movement by introducing powerful ideas like 'Swaraj' and 'Satyagraha,' which became central to India's independence struggle. Congress demands resignation of Amit Shah over Ambedkar remarks During a debate on the Constitution in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday, Shah had said, Abhi ek fashion ho gaya hai - Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar. Itna naam agar Bhagwan ka lete to saat janmon tak swarg mil jata (It has become a fashion to say Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar. If they had taken God's name so many times, they would have attained heaven for seven lifetimes). On Wednesday, Shah held a press conference in which he accused the Congress of twisting facts and distorting his comments in the Rajya Sabha. Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha witnessed constant protests from treasury benches and opposition members over the alleged insult of Ambedkar until both the houses were adjourned sine die on Friday.
